Most Vietnamese are not refugees and most refugees are not Vietnamese. Those Vietnamese that became refugees in the 1940s-1980s fled the violence of the Indochina Wars, which destroyed Vietnam and made life difficult for many Vietnamese.
Natalie Tran's parents were Vietnamese refugees who moved to Australia in 1981. Natalie was born in Sydney, Australia on July 26th, 1986. Therefore she is of Vietnamese parentage and her nationality is Australian.

Australian-born Vietnamese are highly represented in Australian Universities and professions. Many are information technology workers, engineers, doctors and pharmacists. Vietnam has been the fifth-largest source of immigration to Australia.

According to Australia Census [http://www.abs.gov.au] there are nearly 174000 people in Australia who have Vietnamese ancestry. Vietnamese is the 7th commonest language used at home in Australia. Since 1975 when Sino-Russian-backed Communist North Vietnam invaded American-backed South Vietnam, thousands of refugees fled to the sea - the well documented "boatpeople crisis", many settled in Australia. The need to gather and support each other became obvious for these refugees. In the state of New South Wales, Vietnamese refugees gradually "homed" into several "communities" like in the suburbs of Cabramatta and Bankstown. Likewise, Richmond and Springvale in Victoria are meeting places for the Vietnamese Australia. The Vietnamese Community in Australia (the VCA) was formed in 1977. It is a non-profit, democratically elected, umbrella organisation representing all Australians of Vietnamese origin. Each mainland State has a Chapter, whose representatives are elected in open elections every 2 years. Apart from supporting local Vietnamese communities in Australia - mainly in social and health issues, the VCA also works hard in promoting international awareness of the problems in their homeland Vietnam, where they believe the communist government are continuing to oppress media and religious freedom and worsening human right abuse.

The Vietnamese community in Australia has experienced a complex history, particularly following the Vietnam War, when many refugees arrived seeking safety. Initially, they faced challenges such as racism and discrimination but gradually integrated into Australian society. Over the years, the Vietnamese have contributed significantly to Australia’s cultural and economic landscape, establishing vibrant communities, businesses, and cultural festivals. Today, they are generally regarded as a vital part of Australia's multicultural identity.
